Subject: [PATCH] fs: nfs: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in encode_attrs()

In encode_attrs(), there is an if statement on line 1145 to check
whether label is NULL:
    if (label && (attrmask[2] & FATTR4_WORD2_SECURITY_LABEL))

When label is NULL, it is used on lines 1178-1181:
    *p++ = cpu_to_be32(label->lfs);
    *p++ = cpu_to_be32(label->pi);
    *p++ = cpu_to_be32(label->len);
    p = xdr_encode_opaque_fixed(p, label->label, label->len);

To fix these bugs, label is checked before being used.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
